Sony’s modern OLEDs are sick. There are a few between my family, and they have the best processing I’ve seen, they decode massive bluray rips no problem, and native options for a clean ad-free UI.
Why TF aren’t people buying them?
Probably because they're quite expensive
Honestly, don't remember the last time I watched TV
Do you think the only thing TVs are used for is watching traditional terrestrial TV? Lol
I only watch extraterrestrial TV.
It's the main purpose of them, yes. Define TV to me. I don't see the point of paying for decoders, smart TV and bunch of other things I'll never use, much smarter decision is to buy a monitor which focuses on image quality and performance, far more suitable for consoles, Roku, etc.
Commenter above low-key described that OLED as a monitor more than a TV
is your cell phone battery mostly consumed supporting phone calls
Well, the top killer is Boost, which is a client for Lemmy, sitting at 1/3 battery usage.
